Removal Of Wet Damaged Materials:
During a flood cleanup the indoor air quality in your home or office may
appear to be the least of your problems, however failure to remove
contaminated materials and to reduce moisture and humidity can present
long-term health risks. Standing water and wet materials are a breeding
ground for microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, and mold. They can
cause disease, trigger allergic reactions and continue to damage materials
long after the water is gone. It can be difficult to throw away items in a
home, particularly those with sentimental value, however keeping certain
items that were soaked by water damage may be unhealthy.
Some materials tend to absorb and hold water more than others. In general,
materials that are wet and cannot be thoroughly cleaned and dried within
24-48 hours should be discarded as they can become a source of microbial
growth. Microorganisms brought into the home during flooding may present a
health hazard. These organisms can penetrate deep into soaked, porous
materials and later be released into air or water. Coming into contact
with air or water that contain these organisms can make you sick. High
humidity and moist materials provide ideal environments for the excessive
growth of microorganisms that are always present in your home and may
result in additional health concerns such as allergic reactions. Long term
increases in humidity in your home can also foster the growth of MOLD.
Mold is a major cause of allergic reactions and asthma.

You may have to remove walls and floors in your home. The drying out
process could take several days and growth of microorganisms will continue
as long as humidity is high. If the house is not dried out properly a
musty odor signifying growth of microorganisms can remain long after the
flood. BE PATIENT! Your home will be back to normal as quickly as
possible.
